Bilberry

The bilberry is not as popular as the goji, acai or blueberry among the health-conscious, but it is slowly coming into its own. Related to the blueberry, it is a native of Europe and North America. And like the blueberry, both its berries and its leaves have healing and health-enhancing properties.
